I just figured I’m going to be freaking cold next week

I’m off to Tokyo on Saturday.  Work, not holidays.
I know that the seasons in the northern hemisphere are opposite to here in Australia, so I did realise it would be winter in Japan, but just what that entailed didn’t really hit home for me until the last day or so.
First, I looked up the weather […]

Hanging out in airports

I started to write this post waiting for my flight from Kuala Lumpur, but time ran out before my boarding call.
No matter how good an airport is, and KLIA is very good as far as airports go, hanging around in them is not fun. In fact, I struggle to think of more boring ways […]

Time’s flying here in KL

I’ve now been in KL for a week and a day and time sure has flown by. Work, work, work …
But I’ve fitted in a couple of good nights out …satays, chilli crab, pepper crab, chilli prawns, and of course, large amounts of Tiger beer (and later Jack Daniels). Even tried eating some […]

Facebook a huge waste of time

A report estimated the possible loss of work productivity of employees using Facebook as up to $5 billion a year.  This number was arrived at on the basis of one employee per workplace, an hour a day, with 800,000 workplaces in Australia.
Of course, the author of the report has a vested interest in saying […]

Looking out my office window

I get to see things like this:

and this:
Beats looking out the window at other office buildings! Or carparks, or traffic.

Cough, cough, splutter, splutter

That pretty much sums up my long weekend. I’ve had a cold since the middle of the week (so has my daughter … who I blame for mine, and son) and over the weekend I was coughing and spluttering most of the time. Makes it hard to do much, and especially hard […]

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength: Newspeak is alive and well

Seems that the name “Workchoices” is on the outer, and has been banished from the Federal government’s vocabulary. The Workchoices hotline is now the Workplace Infoline, and telephone operators have been told to change all references from “WorkChoices” to “workplace relations”.
According to Workplace Relations Minister Joe Hockey the reason for the change in […]
